Feds taking more land from ranchers. Texas this time.

Any endangered critters around there for BLM to claim need protection? Any Land deals in the works in the region?

Nope, just a river that moves and they say the land he has been paying taxes on and OWN for decades is not his but is now Oklahoma's since the river eroded ( in simple terms) over into Oklahoma.

If the BLM is successful in its bid to seize the 90,000 acres, it would substantially alter the boundaries between the two states. The fight boils down to the difference between avulsion and accretion, and the way the river moves. Since the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 there has been some controversy about the exact boundary between Texas and Oklahoma along the Red River. The river has moved over time and the boundary is supposed to be noted as the vegetation line along the south side of the waterway.

Either way, it makes no sense as to why he can't still own the land in OK, why must they take it?

Funny thing is they STOLE his land but rather than giving it to Oklahoma, which would make sense were you to agree with their idiotic position, they kept it for themselves.

I read that...but it didn't make sense...and it still doesn't. I agree however there's no reason to take it from him because nature is altering the landscape.
 
Property lines should be based on actual surveys of the land (longitude and lattitude) and not based upon where the banks of of a river lies.

Both states use different semantics to define the boundary, according to the Americas Freedom Fighters website. Oklahoma state statute defines avulsion in a different manner than both the United States government and Texas.
 
Like other agencies/departments under this Administration, the BLM is exceeding it's authority and is getting too big for it's britches.

Exactly, they should remain where they were originally established.


This has been my point all along with King Obama. He CONSTANTLY spouts that "We are a nation of laws" and I truly believe that. However, there is an important point that this latest land grab serves.

The government is using "the law" rather than guns and troops to inflict it's will on "we, the people". When they decide that they want to do this - or that - they merely change the existing laws to TAKE from whomever they want.

They make the laws to serve THEM - not us. Just as England did. There is very little difference between King George and King Obama. Very little difference, indeed. We are being beaten into submission not with tanks and planes - but rather with "Lawyers".
 
Guess maps, like the Constitution, are only suggestions. This shit needs to stop.


Yeah - remember the Constitution is a "living, breathing document" according to these idiots. Maps? Surely you jest! WE will tell you what is what, Rosebud.
